A review of the UBP/OBA’s record will reflect miss-management of capital projects as well. However, it is apparent that when this government does anything it is perceived by some as acting in sinister evil way. But, as this is their political strategy to gain votes from black middle class, it may also backfire as well. The black squeeze middle class are also becoming more aware, as I am one of them. Let’s not try to paint a picture of government in a negative way to gain votes. This government cares about its people, and has made investments in its people. It one carefully examines Mr Richards recommends opens the floodgates, it does include anything for the Bermudians, but seeks to promote the interest of those that already financial establish or nonBermuidan.

Why was the UBP/OBA not investigated for overruns and mis-management of major capital projects? I am sure a careful evaluation would reveal much of the same. In the future Capital projects will require a different approach for overall management.

The Hon. Premier keep focus as the political pundits will have their say, but you will do what must be done !!

LOL

Democracies are based on candidates being able to convince the electorate about their suitability to govern the jurisdiction. If you fundamentally disrespect the voters (effectively calling them ignorant) how can you legitimately expect to govern in their best interests.

I also reiterate one of my earlier comments. Allegations of corruption are very serious and I have not seen any published facts that support such allegations. We need to be mindful of the image we project in the international arena about Bermuda. It is very difficult to rebuild a reputation that has been tarnished as corrupt – even if the allegations are never proven. In this regard, let us be careful not to ‘cut off our nose to spite our face’.

With all the looney tunes running around now we’ll never have a Gov who has the best for Bermuda at heart. Just get my time in and collect the nice pension , thenqew veddy much !

With respect to my name, I am following the trend of other posts. My preference would be for Bernews and others to require all of us to reveal our names when we post. Whilst such a requirement would reduce the number of posts, it would also eliminate the totally offensice (e.g. profanity) that is occassionally posted.

If electon called tomorrow, u will all go and line up to vote for Jp Mp, Premier Paula Cox

Where have you been living ? Under a rock ? Don’t you recall the PLP mantra after the ’98 election ?

‘The talent pool is soooooo deep’ … remember ? That’s why all we’ve ever seen since they got elected is the same 8-10 people holding ministerial portfolios..
So , it’s either a lack of talent and expertise or a big , big demonstration of the divide within the party .

By the way , the ‘talent pool’ is about as deep as a small puddle after a summer shower.

So , for Rob below , you probably wouldn’t be able to vote for him ..

Simple question…. Needs a simple answer (the public needs to know)

Unfortunately , any new government will be utterly and totally hamstrung trying to undo the damage caused by the PLP in 13 short years. The bulk of the electorate who continue to look for freebies and handouts from government to cover their own inability to make sensible choices and sacrifices to get ahead will be greatly pissed off in short order and vote the crooks back in again.

You all need to get of off of this ignorant Band Wagon and stop the pulling and tugging, this will only sink us in a deeper hole.

Once again, we must seek as best as possible to be historically accurate and logically consistent with our comments.

It will be interesting to see if the Governor makes any further comment. We also do not know exactly what context the Governor used for his comments – I think we were all influenced by the RG headline.

Just imagine if there was a universal cry for the Governor to be removed from both the PLP and OBA, albeit for different reasons – they say one way to make foes cooperate is to give them a common enemy!

If you disagree with anything I have posted, please comment and I will offer further comment. In the event that I have posted something incorrect, I will gladly acknowledge your correction.

On a related note, this is the sort of bad example we are offering to our children these days. Rather than continue with meaningful discussion we effectively resort to ‘name calling’. For our children, this trnaslates to ineffective dispute resolution and physical altercations.
